Abstract
Cassandra Baynard discusses her time at Ohio State as a student and member of the Black Student Union. This interview was one of 15 conducted by students in English 4567 (Rhetoric and Community Service) to capture as many stories as possible from former Ohio State students associated with the 1968 sit-in at the Administration Building (now Bricker Hall) that led to the arrests of 34 Black students, now known as the “OSU 34.” In addition to her experience at the sit-in, Williams also discusses her parents’ reaction to her arrest, and why it was important for the students to speak up that way.
